going public

ok, we’re letting the word out on the new things here… welcome to everyone who wanders in… poke around, have a good time, see how things work (and don’t work), and please don’t hesitate to ask questions or make suggestions.

it’s up to you how you use what we’ve got available here… we can go in a lot of different directions with this – anything from personal blogs/journals, simply listing events, or making this an intense community focal point. i’m trying to leverage some technical and practical resources to help dancers connect with each other and with their audience, so the stage (so to speak) is yours. this domain should give you some pretty good search engine mojo, but building the community and creating the content is up to you now…

welcome to drupal

we’re checking out drupal as a community alternative to movabletype – and hopefully we’ll have full integration of a useful events calendar and support for individual blogs for everyone. this is a testbed, things are going to be broken and crazy for a while. everything is subject to change without notice (particularly if i screw something up), but welcome…

i’ve migrated all the “friends of roj” links, they appear, for now, on the lower left side of the screen. lots of other things to experiment with, including polls. i’m also going to try to drive participation a little and leverage t Continue reading

blogspam comes to the dance blog

it seems that someone’s taken to spamming other blogs with a link to this blog.

if you’re here visiting from a “not too shabby” comment from someone else’s blog, i apologize for wasting your time. chances are the comment you followed had nothing to do with the post to which it was attached (we got four of them here). as you can see, the design here isn’t anything particularly special, nor do we have anything do with jennifer love hewitt.

welcome to the dance blog

welcome!

in an effort to support things i appreciate, and to more effectively use the resources i have at my disposal, i’ve created this blog.

this is an open, public forum for you to share thoughts, impressions, comments and news.

if you’d like posting-authorization, send me email with the name you’d like to use here and a password, and i’ll get you set up as soon as possible. if you just want to browse and comment, you won’t need a posting-password, just dive in and enjoy.

if you’ve got a website, and would like a link from this page, email the relevant information.

this is an experiment. expect it to evolve and change over time. tell me what you’d like to do with it, and i’ll see if i can make it happen. there will be some growing pains, please excuse my dust.

this is your space. please use it. Continue reading
